I recently ate an amazing omurice dish, and it’s been on my mind ever since.
Here are some savory options to enjoy:

A ‘heavenly’ option
There are many dishes to choose from at recently opened Heavenly Island Lifestyle Hawaii Kai (7192 Kalanianaole Hwy. Ste. D-105), but don’t miss this eatery’s omu Hayashi rice ($15.50). This dish is on the lunch menu and features a Japanese-style fried rice omelet made with bacon, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms and green bell peppers.

A savory entree
Located in Pearlridge Center, The HALL by Beer Lab HI (98-1005 Moanalua Road) features omurice ($19) on its lunch-and-dinner menu. This savory concoction features a medley of fried rice, bacon, baby shrimp, onions, and chopped kimchi topped with a Waialua Farm scrambled egg, demi-glace sauce and green onions. The demi-glace gives it an added umami flavor, while the kimchi provides a slight spice.

Traditional Japanese fare
Sakura Terrace (1240 S. King St.) offers customers traditional Japanese specialties. Popular dishes include Sakura bento ($23) — comprising maguro, hamachi, salmon, shrimp, spicy tuna roll, miso soup, mini salad and three side dishes — ahi poke donburi ($18) and omurice ($15). The latter features ketchup fried rice topped with a Japanese-style omelet and gravy. It’s served with a mini salad and miso soup.
